Unfortunately, there remains much residual prejudice of all types in the world, and particularly in the UK. <br /><br />It needs to be overcome through education and celebrating the lives of those like Alan, who were pioneer's in their time, as well as victims.<br /><br />I am unable to conceive how anyone can today, justify any innate prejudice on any grounds, whether racial, gender or sexual - it inhumane and not worthy of being tolerated. More education is needed if it is to be overcome.<br /><br />The Church(s) should be taking a lead in this area. Instead, they bury their heads in the sand and try to ignore change for the better, using scripture and arcane traditions and thought patterns to justify their ongoing discriminatory approach.<br /><br />The House of Bishops of both the CofE and RC Churches need to be open to the Holy Spirit and view these areas with open minds - because, if they don't, their traditions will be swept away in a wave of revulsion against such reactionary principles.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.com
